Bloody love this place. The food is simple, but excellent, the service is good and the ambiance is great, a little hole in the wall away from the main drag is always awesome. Only bad part...cash only...but at least their going green, somehow. No big parties please, you'll ruin the atmosphere.

Gyro: Great. Atmosphere: not great. Price: Great.
(4)Molly V.
a great place for Greek food!
(4)Nicole S.
My favorite is the falafel here. Large portion for a low price. Cash only and no longer serving alcohol.
(3)Jacqui V.
I LOVE THIS PLACE! The Greek food is authentic (unlike the other Greek place in town) and the owner is personable and has been at the restaurant every time I've been there.
(5)Dean B.
Greek Islands is awesome. Huge gyros piled high with fresh ingredients for a great price. I usually get two meals out of a single gyro. The ambiance is low-key and comfortable, and the owners are friendly and helpful. The felafel is right up there with the gyro, but I always get the gyro because when you're craving one, you must obey the urge.
(5)Warlock S.
I've never had a problem here. Food is pretty good. Its a good way to change up the normal Flagstaff options... Pizza, Bar Food, or Thai. Minus one star for being Cash Only. They've got a nice back patio for the summer time. Its a chill place.
(4)Leslie H.
Delicious! I know I was really starving when I showed up but this place was one of the best Greek places I've ever tried! We found it on yelp and decided to give it a go. I was happy to see it was a little hole in the wall as those are the best kind of places. We were spending the weekend in Flagstaff (came up from Phoenix) and didn't know where to go. I'm very glad we found this place and I'll definitely return again when we return. I ordered the gyro platter and it was a LOT of food. Whatever ingredient was in the rice made it so tasty! The gyro meat was tender and flavorful and the salad delicious. We also got hummus and it didn't disappoint.

Literally stumbled upon this place while trying to find a burrito place in Flagstaff. After the fact, we were super thankful we never found the burrito place because this Greek food was amazing. The cafe is a small, traditional Greek cafe, kind of 'hole-in-the-wall' but just like one you would find in Greece. The patio is actually in the ally but because of the fence and strung lights you would hardly tell that you are in a alley. The wine is super cheap at $3 a glass, because that's exactly how it would be in Greece. You absolutely must have a the table red wine with Greek food. For dinner we went with the traditional Greek: Gyro platter, with is plenty of food. Greek salad with feta, pita bread wedges, gyro meat, rice with marinera sauce, and of course plentiful tzatziki sauce. The meat was delicious as was the tzatziki. You can always tell good Greek food by the tzatziki sauce and there's was think and creamy. I think they use sour cream instead of yogurt. If you like Greek you must go here. And BRING CASH because they don't take credit card.

This place is delightful, and you'd probably miss it if you weren't looking for it. One of my coworkers (who's whole family is greek) has been urging me to get in there, and I finally got around to it yesterday. Hot dayum! This was super tasty. I got the Greek Salad with Gyro meat on it, and I ended up force feeding myself the last couple bites because I was so full. Best Gyros I've ever had, hands down. I could tell that the dressing was house made to perfection, and the Tsatziki sauce was incredible too (most places make theirs waaaay too sour, but theirs was creamy and really flavorful!) You can tell that this place is run by greeks, because greek food has never tasted so right. Prices are really low too, so you can eat well without breaking the bank. (It is cash only though, like many places in flag, so carry a $20 on you to be safe so you can save room for their house made baclava!) Our waiter was really chill, and the only reason I mark it down a star is because it's a little grimey in there (not gross, just not super clean either) Oh the charms of "hole-in-the-wall" restaurants!
(4)Dennis W.
Simple menu, simple ingredients, I've eaten here 4 times in the past week. Huge portions. The owner is always here and friendly.
(5)Michael R.
The biggest kebab I've ever had! Absolutely huge portions and really tasty to. My only recommendation would be too have a nice dollop of chilli sauce to go with this tasty meal.
(4)Krystal L.
We went to GreekIslands on the spur of the moment because both of us have heard great things about this place. I have to admit though, We weren't impressed. We went around 7:30pm and sat ourselves like the sign said. We sat there for about four minutes before anyone from the back came out to give us menus. Our server was helpful at least for me. I asked what he recommended and he suggested the "PhillyCheese Gyro with the Greek Pasta." OKAY CHOICE. The meat was cooked nicely but it didn't wow me. The pasta was my favorite though, Fresh and flavorful! The price wasn't bad ... The gyros are actually pretty large. There aren't soda machines (only water and DIY kool-aid) just to let you know. I would come back again and see how it goes ...
(3)Shane M.
Wowza. This place is fantastic! The Aphrodite special is godly. It's a gyro without dairy, hummus instead of sauce and a bunch of veggies. It's huge too! I'm never full when I go out to eat, I'm full this time. If you're getting something small get it with their fantastic hummus. I can't wait to come back. They were rock'n Michele Jackson this afternoon. Everyone was tap'n along.
(5)Marie C.
We just got in town & like we always do, got on yelp for our eating options. We decided to try Greek Islands & it was an awesome choice! The food is amazing! I tried the Philly Cheese gyro, my husband tried the classic gyro with feta. His was yummy but my Philly was UNBELIEVABLE! Sides were pretty good too. The place isn't much to look at but don't judge this book by its cover, the food is so worth it! We will definitely be back.
(5)Jennifer S.
We stopped here after a ten hour drive, arriving late at night and near their closing time. We found these guys on Yelp, and what a surprise! The owner greeted us with a smile, and his recommendations were genuine and spot on. The place has a very laid back vibe which was just what we wanted. There was a pitcher of Tang in the corner, help yourself, music coming from a mysterious room behind a giant red door, and a couple locals eating up in the corner. When the food came out, we saw the owner had customized our meals --difficult to describe, but suffice to say it was DELICIOUS. I don't think it was just the road trip talking, either. This was TASTY food. I had the gyro plate and it was probably the best gyro meat I've ever had. If you're in the area, GO HERE.
(5)Pete B.
First off the food is very good, what ruined it was the horrible unprofessionalism of the waiter, and how annoyed he looked and acted at his job. He seemed like he was ready to walk off the job at anytime. I have never had such a negative dining experience at sit down restaurant regarding the service.
(2)Sam M.
first my experience was at 2am drunk... So it's a little blurry HOWEVER the food was unforgettable!!!!!!! Greek salad and pita bread ON POINT!!!! Not to mention you make your own koolaid!!!!!!! The cook was a one man show but man we didn't have to wait long for our food! even super busy he was really Nice!!!!!!!!
(5)Rebecca R.
Ok, on one hand I really like Greek Islands. It's not beautiful inside, but the people are nice and around 2 am it sounds like a great idea. And it is. Flagstaff needs late night food and it's usually packed! But the other day I went in at 6 pm and got to view it through light-of-day goggles (rather than super snack at 2 am goggles?). The place is not very clean. I sat on the patio and the freezer is outside. I saw employees digging through the freezer and pulling out just about everything I had ordered-- pitas, meat, even the fried zucchini bits came out of a freezer bag. The food is really good, I just wish it was fresher... it's not hard to get fresher stuff and for the price I was expecting better quality. Ok, but some positive things: It's no longer cash only (hurray!). The serving sizes are HUGE. I ordered the falafel gyro and it was just ginormous. The patio is also a nice place to sit. I like Greek Islands, I'm just going for the hours, not the extremely nice quality.
(3)Maria G.
Five stars, this was the best gyro I have ever had. The meat is simply delicious, and everything else accompanying the meat was fresh and good. This place is a bit hard to find. Our friend who lives in Flagstaff didn't know where it was and he only found it because our car was parked right in front of the restaurant on the street. I found this place when I noticed an article about it in Arizona Highways, the magazine. It stood out to me because the last time we were in Flagstaff we parked in front of this tiny restaurant. It also caught my attention because we had planned to be in Flagstaff the following week. I decided we would give the place a try. It is a small place with only a handful of tables. We walked through the inside area to the back patio. The patio isn't fancy, nothing at Greek Islands is, but it is a bit more spacious than the inside area. We thought we needed room for five people but we ended up being four people. The owner asked us what we wanted and brought us water. We waited for our friend for a bit and then I went down the street to Lumberyard Brewery for take-out beer. Greek Islands is BYOB. The brewery is almost catty-corner across the street from Greek Islands. Once I returned with the beer we decided to order. I had the gyro with feta cheese. I didn't want a side so the cost was $5.50. Any sandwich without a side cost $5.50. Our food was delivered to our table in less than five minutes. In another five minutes it was devoured. We had planned to order and then wait for our Flagstaff friend, as he was just a few minutes away. That just didn't happen; the food was so good. When he showed up we insisted he order a gyro. The gyro itself is a nice big portion and so affordable. One person in our group ordered fries. He said they were cooked well, but just Ore-dia fries. He agreed that the gyro was enough food on its own. We actually didn't have dinner that night as our late lunch left us completely satisfied. One of the Yelp tips says "cash only" but we didn't have a problem paying with a card. This is a tiny local spot. If you want ambiance or room to spread out you might want to skip it. However, if you are all about good food and value please check it out. This place is barebones, but there is delicious food coming out of the tiny kitchen. We have already made plans to eat one of these gyros everytime we are in Flagstaff. We even considered take-out for the drive back to Tucson. These gyros really are that good.

They are all boarded up. Looks like a permanent closure. Windows were broken. Very disappointing.

It kinda pains me to write this review because I hate writing bad reviews. But my experience at Greek Islands was just that - really bad. I was visiting Flagstaff with my husband and two friends for a unique child-free weekend. We found Greek Islands just by using Google Maps and the consensus that we all like Greek food. The restaurant is very small, which is fine, and we were the only diners. As we seated ourselves, we were followed by a very small girl. When we sat down, she helped me take my jacket off and handed it to my husband. It was darling. It is my understanding that it is common in Greek families for the children to assist in family restaurants, but it is also my understanding that they leave you alone. This child did not leave us alone. First, when spotting candy in my purse, she asked for it. I had the candy in my purse because I wanted the candy, but who can say no to a child? After getting the OK from her dad, I gave her the candy. She asked me to open it. I did, and then she stood right aside me and ate it. Then she asked if I had more. I told her no. She asked if she could look in my purse., I told her no. She stared at me long and hard and finally left. Everyone at my table let out a sigh of relief and her Dad came and took our order. Two if the items we ordered were not on the menu: the soup, and soda. The only non-water beverage offered was ice tea. My friend ordered one. As my friends and I started talking, the young girl re-appeared. She told us her name was JoJo and that she was two years old. How cute....at least for a minute. Look, I have a young girl. I love her. But when I am not around her, I like having adult conversations. This two year old could not get the hint. Her father never came to check on her so I could not even give him a hint. And then came the scissors. My daughter likes to cut things too but I give her scissors that are meant for a child - they are small, dull, and $1 at Walgreens. The scissors that this little girl had were the real, coupon-clipping deal. And she started to cut up our paper menus. I try very hard not to parent other people kids, but my heartrate was steadily increasing and there were numerous times this kid came close to cutting her little finger. I begged her to put away the scissors. FINALLY, her dad emerged and she asked for permission. And he said OK! And then he left again!!! So, now I am not only babysitting this kid, I am babysitting this kid WHILE SHE PLAYS WITH A HUGE PAIR OF SCISSORS. Does this sound like an enjoyable meal to you? After she cut up all four of our menus, she went and got more menus. And yes, she brought them back to our table to do her cutting. For the love of everything, this two year old child did not cut a finger. But you know what she did cut? Her beautiful, never-been-trimmed, soft, blond hair. I let out a shriek as her precious hair fell to my feet. Finally, her father emerged again. He inspected her hair and said her mother would not be happy. And then he left out the front door. Of course this girl wanted to follow her daddy so she demanded we open the door. But there was NO WAY I was going to set a 2 year old free in downtown Flagstaff. So now I am stuck babysitting a pissed off kid. Eventually her dad did return and eventually our food was ready. Or, at least sort of...the order was wrong. And the ice tea was never served. After explaining why we were unhappy with our meal, the order was corrected and two ice teas were served (despite only one person wanting tea). Out of the four people in my party, three of us (including myself) liked the food. I thought the gyro meat was juicy, the french fries were crispy, the tzatziki was perfect, and the spanikota was steaming hot and yummy. The fourth member of our party thought it was the most vile gyro he ever ate. But, I think he was tainted by the two year old circling our table the entire time. Being around unsupervised small children can make a dining experience very uncomfortable. When we were finished, no one came to give us a check. This did not surprise us since never once did anyone refill a water cup or remove an unwanted child. I had to get up, find the only other person on the premise, tell him what we ordered so he could ring it up. We were all so so so glad to finally leave Greek Island. Although the gyro was good, a good gryo is a dime a dozen. In NO SITUATION should a restaurant owner leave his child with the patrons. She is cute- it does NOT mean I want to give her items inside my purse, babysit her, watch her nearly cut off her fingers, give herself a hair cut, and throw a mini tantrum because I wont let her outside on the front street unsupervised. There is something very weird about Greek Island that no amount of good food can offset.
(1)Diana I.
Excellent gyros and Jamaican music made my night. The place is reminiscent of the spots I visited in Greece. I love me some Greek food. The spicy chicken didn't disappoint. And the gyros were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Noms. The only reason I knocked down a point is because the bathroom (and getting to it) isn't very appealing.
(4)Robert D.
As I work just around the corner threes guys never fail to give me great food and more than I can eat in one sitting at a great price, kudos!
(5)David S.
The food is great, but the building is really dirty and dim. Some things like the light switches and fan blades look like they have never been cleaned. Dirty old table settings and menus. There was a weird table in the corner just filled up with random junk.
(3)Sarah M.
This is by far my favorite Greek place, and that is coming from someone who eats Greek a lot. The food is beyond excellent, and the tzatziki is the best I've ever had. However, anyone who has ever been there knows the service isn't what keeps people coming back. If the food wasn't so good, I wouldn't keep going. I guess that's part of the charm on this hole in the wall?
(4)Heinrich P.
The servings here are huge! The food was delicious and the service good. We went on an afternoon so it wasn't busy at all and we were served fast. There isn't a ton of seating, so I can imagine it could get pretty cramped during busy times, as well as much slower service. That was not my experience though. (note: I went here in the summer of 2013)
(5)Charlie O.
Took 45 min to get a gyro. Food was good but I could have bought the stuff to make it and cooked it myself in less time
(2)C F.
I am usually 3 to 6 sheets to the wind when I wind up at the Islands for a warm pita over stuffed with 2 gigantic, tasty, fried to perfection, balls of falafel smothered in a hyper-garlicy tzatziki sauce, and possibly some vegetables...I don't really remember. I know that I like it and I know that I sleep like the dead afterwards. I've also had the gyro sandwich and plate, both excellent choices. I can eat a lot, and I can't finish all of this in one sitting, but I want to, and that's a sincere compliment. Open late, except Sunday, and they only accept cash. Also, be prepared to reek like the island for some time afterwards. Poor ventilation and smoke rolling out of the kitchen will do that to you. The place is not that clean, I notice that even with poor lighting and the early morning hours. These reasons are where the stars fade for me. I do know that I prefer the food and atmosphere to that of the overly stereotypical "Greek-style Chili's" in the strip mall on the other end of town. Also, I prefer the portion-to-price ratio over the perfectly good Greek restaurant attached to the motel on 66 (which I do not dissuade any of you from trying, it's has good food too). Someday I plan to come here during the summer, sit on the enclosed patio with a sixer of beer (did I fail to mention that you can bring your own alcohol) when I've had less to drink (and already smelly clothes) and try other things, I'll update this review when and if that happens.
(3)April R.
It is impossible to be disappointed with the food here. Everything is great!! It is cash only so stop at your ATM, and if you are looking for upscale fine dining, leave your snobby attitude at home. This place has character, making it a great fit for Flagstaff. The Chef's Special Veggie Salad Plate is my favorite because it is a perfect sampling of my favorites.
(5)Yiyo N.
Best hole in wall restaurant in Flagstaff. Accepts card and cash. The fries are great and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Flagstaff
(4)Ami M.
The owner delightful to talk to. The food was good but the meat was a little dry. I would definitely come back!
(3)Nate H.
Gyro was the best I've ever had, the meat was delicious and the lunch special was super cheap, 9.99 for 2 gyros and 2 sides, all around great Greek food, highly recommend the Greek style French fries
(5)Robert L.
Simply put, ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING RESTAURANTS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO in all of my existence on this planet! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with the friendliest of hosts, as well as a delightful smell of freshly cooked Greek food. After eating, we actually talked about Greece with one of the owners! Not only was the staff extraordinarily friendly, the food was incredible! The gyros are so large they are nearly impossible to finish; they are so delicious that just thinking about them again has left me drooling all over the keyboard! This is the ONLY restaurant that I have loved to the extent that I came home and instantly made a Yelp account to make this review! Very highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guarantee you will love it.
(5)Rachel O.
I was interested in the atmosphere of the restaurant but immediately disappointed. My boyfriend brought me here for dinner and said it was a "really cool place" but it's honestly just a dump that let's you bring your own booze. The server was a friendly blonde kid. He looked like he knew what he was doing but I really didn't like how he talked to us as customers. He cursed around us and I saw him making our food without gloves. The food itself was decent but the gyro was a little overcooked. I'd recommend the Greek fries.
(3)Emily B.
Went here based on decent reviews, but I have to say it was far from that. One star for the byob policy otherwise it deserves zero stars. The place had really loud music, it is filthy, and it took FIFTY minutes to get the wrong food! There were ingredients missing and new ingredients not listed added. Greek is usually a vegetarian/vegan friendly food option but the cook admitted to me that there was no telling what you were eating based on cross contamination. The falafel was straight out of the bulk bin at the grocery store, the tahziki was made with sour cream, and everything including the salad was drenched in oil- something like an oil soup. Maybe okay I you are hammered at 2am and don't care about anything, otherwise I suggest staying away.
(1)K T.
One of the best greek places I've been to in the entire country! Greek Islands is a small place with seating for perhaps 25 (at the most), but the food is delicious. Whether it is their Falafel that is (literally) the size of your palm, or the well-marinated Chicken Souvlaki that melts in your mouth ... The best part of the place is the Baklava - to die for. Do not miss that if you go there. Do take cash though, they only take paper.
(5)Sira C.
Oh man, amazing Greek food. I ordered a gyro that was as big as my head, and was super delicious. The Greek fries were overrated, and they originally forgot to put the stuff on it, but not too bad. It is cash only, and it's a little place, so I wouldn't recommend a big party. It's kind of dark inside too, but the food is really good. Just don't forget to bring cash and double check your to go order.
(4)Sharan G.
Let me start off with saying that the food was pretty good. The prices were a little high for a hole in the wall it was. Honestly, we've had better. Now for the part that really irritated my bf and myself.. The staff there was completely rude. First off they talked about other customers and people passing by and it was nothing nice. Also it was loud enough for us to hear which was completely unprofessional. Secondly, half the time they were too busy talking to their friends to pay attention to any actual customers. Last and not least they lied about not accepting credit/debit by saying the machine was down. Even though 5 minutes before we paid I heard and saw another gentleman pay with his card and the employee then stated to that customer he was just about to close out the machine. Even though they weren't closed yet. He was just being lazy. If he had been honest about it we wouldn't have even cared that much but don't lie to people. Especially ones who can hear you. We never plan on stopping there again and honestly neither should you unless you take it to go!
(2)S C.
Ordered the gyro classic. A good sized sandwich, however, the lamb was overdone. Price wasn't bad. Actually, the food was pretty bad. Greek fries were awful. Good customer service. Cash only (there's an ATM somewhere). Table across from me had a boy friend/girl friend break-up during lunch. Bad juju!
(1)Dennis A.
Greek food: Good. Everything else: Bad. First: Despite what it says here, they have a CASH ONLY sign taped near the door, so come with green. The beer section of the menu was covered up in duct tape, so don't expect any here. The menu looked great, and it smelled really good in there. There are very few tables in the place that can handle 4 guests. We sat outside on the rock patio on the worlds cheapest,and most wobbly plastic patio furnture. The waitress had a really nervous, almost insecure, demeanor as if she were very uncomfortable talking to, or being around strangers. She spoke so quietly we had to say "huh?" to almost everything she said. We ordered our food. My daughter ordered a caesar's salad and besides our other food, we also ordered the flaming cheese appetizer. Our entrees arrived. But no salad. We were told they were out. The waitress then brought back a menu, after the rest of us were eating. If you're out of something, why wait until everything else is already served to tell us??? My daughter resigned herself to a turkey melt. I was completely done before her meal arrived. I didn't realize it takes almost 20 minutes to slap some of the cheapest turkey loaf available on some bread and grill it. The Greek food was actually great. We had falafel, gyros and the pasta side dish which was surprisingly good. The flaming cheese we ordered? It never arrived. The waitress said "you didn't order that" despite all 4 of us being sure we did and looking forward to it.. The single shared bathroom was horrible. Everything dirty, and no soap. Doesn't the staff wash their hands? The food and value were good, but the high annoyance with everything else level won out. I'm back where I started, Greek food good; everything else bad.
(2)Alec M.
Feed yourself for two days with a gyro and side! I love this place. The burgers are good too.
(4)Josh P.
So far this is the best gyro in Arizona and it's open really late. The greek salad is really good too. I suggest trying it once while your alive.
(4)Marty F.
So we're in Flagstaff at this bar and starving. Not knowing what's downtown because we're out of towners.. We start walking and i look down this alley and see this place. "Oooo yum!" I thought. We go in and it's a small little dive place, but holy cow.. the food was amazing!. Only thing I didnt like was that they accepted cash only. Great food though!
(4)Lisa G.
The best gyros in Flagstaff!! The meat is spicy and juicy, the tziki sauce cannot be beat. One or both of the owners are always there which is nice. The spanakopita is delish and souvlaki was juicy and tastey. I have wanted to try the souvlaki but I get a "gyro jones" and that is all I want. Way delish, don't waste your money at the other place.
(5)Randy G.
FINALLY. Greek food in Flagstaff that isn't horrible! This food reminds me of the places in Phoenix, which is a great thing. We got the Gyro's plate and the Moussaka plate, which came with Basmati rice, a small Greek Salad, and some pitas. The Gyro plate came with the most amazing tzatziki I have ever had. I'm getting off track here. First off, sit where you want is nice. We chose the outdoor tables, which made for a pleasant experience. Service was quick, as to be expected from Greek restaurants. Portions are kind of small, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt, seeing they are brand new. My Moussaka was great, layers of eggplant, meat, & sweet potato, with a crust of egg custard and cheese on top. Delicious. Small though, which was a slight bummer, because I would have ate more. The greek salad was also seemingly lacking, like it was just thrown on the plate. The basmati was delicious, topped with some tomato sauce. However, really small portion as well. But, like I said, benefit of the doubt. Everything was flavored nicely, which is what really counts. Sarah got the gyros, which were amazing. The meat was tender, crisp, and plentiful. The pita was slightly sweet and warm, very good. She loved her Greek salad, And the tzatziki. Oh yes. Chunks of garlic make this one of the best I have ever had. All and all, the meal was good. And they're brand new, and in a hidden spot, so I ask my fellow Yelper's to please go to this restaurant. Support them, because it is so hard for a place to survive in this town, and to be honest, Flagstaff needs more places like this. The older local joints have dried up, horrific shells of their fantastic pasts, places like Greek Islands need to survive and grow, in order to bring in more interesting food places into Flagstaff. GO.

Most importantly they are open till 3am.. Conveince is a big priority. I try to stick to what I like and the would be their lamb gyro... It's quite good the lamb however is a little over done but still great.. The owner waits on me everytime and is polite and loves to hear feedback... All in all it a great addition to Flagstaff

The first time I went to Greek Islands I was utterly unimpressed. Their food is bland and completely ordinary. However, I have discovered the glory of late-night food at Greek Islands. There is something about 2:00am after a few drinks that makes their food tolerable.

The food and the service were terrific - great people working there. My kids went crazy over the gyros and the chicken souvlaki. We had the saganaki and hummus as appetizers - wonderful. The only special request I'll make next time is to ask that they hold (or serve on the side) the tomato sauce they use as a garnish on the rice, moussaka, etc. It is very flavorful, but can overpower the rest of the food. This is a place I can see going back to over and over!

No improvement since the last visit. Gyro's are standard, bread wasn't as good as the last time. Visited on a slow afternoon, one other table and two of us for lunch. My cohort ordered his gyro sans onions, I made sure to point out that I wanted mine without any changes. This seemed to confuse the server. So, my friend's came as ordered, and shocker, mine also came sans onions. I can't win.

We love this place. Seems just like a little place you would find in Greece. Food was really good and portions were great. This is the best Greek Place in town. No frills just great greek food.

I've been coming here since this restaurant opened, but lately it's been on a major decline in terms of quality. I went today for lunch at noon, and no one was there. For good reason. Both of our waters had black greasy spots all over and inside the glasses. Our waiter was nice though and promptly apologized and got us new water. We ordered two gyros and they looked, tasted, and felt like they had been sitting out the entire night before. The meat was tough and astonishingly dry, nearly identical to jerky. The pita was cold and hard. And the pasta salad, which is usually my favorite part of the meal, was abysmal. It was almost laughable how awful this meal was. Since we already asked about the waters and it wasn't the waiter's fault, I didn't want to complain, but it was one of the WORST meals I've had in a very long time. If you are in the mood for Greek food, do yourself a favor and spend a couple of extra bucks & go to Taverna. Stay away from this restaurant!

I love little "hole in the wall" restaurants - when they're good. Greek Islands has lost their liquor license and while it's now a BYOB they have neither a corkscrew or wine glasses. The first time we went they were out of Calamari and lettuce for the salad. The next time the food took almost an hour to get to the table and they weren't even 1/4 full. Everyone's food came out at the same time - not just our food, all the tables around us even though they came in much later. The food was okay-not great. Maybe this is what is considered great Greek food in Flagstaff - very sad.
